Portland Type 5
Type V Portland Cement is a specialty cement that is widely used in corrosive environments due to its very high resistance to sulfate attack. This type of cement is designed for structures exposed to severe sulfates in soil or water.
Features
1. High resistance to sulfate attacks:
Due to the very low percentage of tricalcium aluminate (C3A) in the chemical composition, this cement has excellent resistance to chemical attacks caused by sulfate.
2. Average heat of hydration:
Controlled heat generation during setting makes this cement perform well in large concrete pours and special conditions, such as reducing the possibility of cracking.
3.Long lifespan:
Concrete made with this cement is more durable in highly corrosive environments and requires less maintenance.
4.Standard setting time:
Its initial and final setting is consistent with other types of Portland cement, which allows for easy use in various projects.
Applications
Structures exposed to high sulfate
Corrosive industrial environments:
Chemical tanks, treatment plants, and water and wastewater structures
Marine structures
Underground structures
Benefits
High resistance in highly corrosive conditions
Due to its special chemical composition, this cement performs best in corrosive sulfate environments.
Increasing the durability of structures
Reducing the need for repairs and maintenance
